2.4 Example 4: LM1877-- 2 Watts into 4

The schematic for the LM1877 speaker driver is
shown in Figure 25. The LM1877, from National
Semiconductor, is capable of supplying 2 Watts of
RMS power into a 4

Ω load with less than

2% THD. The gain required to achieve 2 Watts is
+9 dB, which is implemented with an attenuation
stage of -17 dB followed by the LM1877 gain
implemented as +26 dB.

The high-pass corner frequency near 300 Hz is
given by:

The low-pass corner frequencies near 4 kHz are
given by:

2.5 Example 5: LM4861-- 1 Watt into 4

The schematic for the LM4861 speaker driver is
shown in Figure 26. Note that the power supply for
this speaker driver is +5V. The LM4861, from
National Semiconductor, is capable of supplying
1 Watt of RMS power into a 4

Ω load with less than

2% THD. The gain required to achieve 1 Watt is
+6 dB.

The high-pass corner frequency near 300 Hz is
given by:

The low-pass corner frequency near 4 kHz is given
by:
